Hi Bob,
I just checked the Error table and it's blank:
'Error - 0 rows'
Also, why are you duplicating the text? WixUI already supports de-de

Hi,
I have been working on an installer for a COM application. The installer
contains a few .NET assemblies, with a couple configuration files and
installs a COM application that uses the .NET assemblies (with the

Hi Brian,
what about something along the lines of:
Property Id=MYREGKEYPROP Value=YetNotSet
RegistrySearch Id=MYREGKEYSEARCH Key=MyKey Name=RegValueName
Root=HKLM Type=raw/
/Property
Component Id=CreateKeyComponent Guid= KeyPath=yes
RegistryValue Id=WRITEREGVALUE Action=write Key=MyKey
Good thinking, that worked.
The next question is, should this be necessary? Is the ComPlusExtension
using its own custom actions or something, rather than using stuff like the
ComPlus tables provided by Windows Installer? Just seems to me that it
should be able to handle this in the same way
I wrote a C# based managed Custom Action that basically executes a PowerShell

However, the PowerShell Script runs third party apps. While the setup is
